Currently, I do 25 to 30 keynote speeches per year. Needless to say, this puts me on the road a lot, away from my family. I love the work and am thankful for it. In addition, it’s nice to get a little recognition every now and then.

So, I’m happy to share with you that I’ve been named a “Top5 Speaker” by Speakers Platform, one of the most prominent speakers bureaus in the United States. It’s great to hit a peak, as Spencer Johnson might say.

I’m grateful to the more than 13,000 business leaders, educators, association members and others who cast votes for Top5 Speaker and to Speakers Platform for nominating me. And I’m grateful for my wife Dr. Peggy Bradt, who is an inspiration to me always. Thanks to all of my colleagues, friends and family who have supported me over the years. I appreciate you all.
